Plextor M7V Series Leads the TLC SSD Market

Plextor announced the longest
lifetime M7V series solid-state drive. The M7V series is Plextor's first TLC
SSD product, combining top-class components and exclusive firmware, allowing
the M7V to surpass the current TLC SSD's key technical limits, reaching a P/E
cycle of up to 2,000 times. The best P/E lifetime, speed, capacity and stability
will stand to satisfy the consumer's demands for the best cost performance,
providing users with a new generation TLC SSD product to choose from.

The key to dramatically
increasing Plextor M7V's lifetime as a TLC SDD is through coupling the highest
grade components from the industry with advanced firmware. The M7V series
applies the new generation Marvell control chip, designed exclusively for TLC
products, along with Toshiba's latest 15 nm process TLC NAND flash memory. It
also applies multiple technologies developed exclusively by Plextor, including
the tailor-made write acceleration technology PlexNitro, the Low Density Parity
Check (LDPC) troubleshooting technology with three times the average rate, and
PlexTurbo, a software that applies system memory to decrease the amount of
reading and writing.

The result brings about the
astonishing 2,000 times P/E cycle lifetime of the M7V series, 2 to 4 times as
durable as a normal TLC SSD, providing the largest TBW (Total Bytes Written)
for its users. Using the 512GB capacity version as an example, it has a TBW of
320TB. The M7V has set up a new milestone for TLC SSD products, marking a new
page with its outstanding lifetime, P/E durability and stability, bringing
forth an unforeseen top notch quality application.

Plextor's superb firmware and
software technology has always been the key to surpassing and receiving
recognition above products of the same level. Looking at the firmware
technology applied, the M7V series uses the exclusive PlexNitro technology that
differs from other TLC SSD products, allowing the M7V to not require reserving
hard drive space, increasing its writing capability while keeping the most
complete SSD storage capacity for its users, giving the user's the best return
for their choice. Using the lowest capacity products of 128GB for example, when
other TLC brands can only provide a true 120GB of storage space, Plextor can
support a complete 128GB TLC SSD capacity.

The widely recognized
PlexTurbo software can apply the system's DRAM to accelerate the SSD's read and
write efficiency, allowing the M7V that has a designed sequential read/write
speed of 560/530 MB/s, random read/write speed of 98K/84K IOPS to increase its
speed by 6 to 10 times. PlexTurbo can also reduce the frequency of data
writing, greatly increasing the lifetime of the SSD, bringing advanced
efficiency for the TLC SSD.

Apart from PlexTurbo, the M7V
series can also use two other additional softwares, the PlexCompressor &
PlexVault - PlexCompressor can compress files that have a low usage rate while
not affecting the SSD's efficiency, providing more available space for its
user; PlexVault can set up an exclusive space for sensitive information by
tapping on a few hot keys, providing utmost privacy and security to the data conveniently.

Operation Director of
Plextor, Eva Lee, expressed, "Facing the market trend of TLC SSDs with
high cost performance ratios, consumers have higher expectations for the
product's lifetime, efficiency and reliability. In response to this, Plextor
has applied various advanced technologies and components, building the much
more reliable M7V product series, providing the best data stability and
security with various fast access-enhancing and troubleshooting technology
while greatly increasing the SSD's lifetime, guaranteeing users the highest
cost-effectiveness and protection for their SSD. As we deliver the M7V series,
we will also make the PlexTurbo, PlexCompressor and PlexVault available to all
M6 series users, and we promise to continue to provide premium services for the
users of Plextor."

The Plextor M7V Series
Solid-State Drives will be delivered in April of 2016, providing two different
standard specs - the 2.5 inch (PX-M7VC) and the M.2 2280 (PX-M7VG), with 128GB,
256GB and 512GB capacities to choose from, satisfying SSD system requirements
from desktop computers to ultra-slim notebooks.
